Dear Fellow Writing Teacher, Homeschool Mom or Parent,

Lori Verstegan has done it again. She provides 27 writing lessons for moms & teachers who are studying or teaching medieval history. One of the coolest things about Lori's writing lessons is it goes chronologically through the program. In other words, it begins with Augustine & Mohammed, runs thorugh Charlemagne, Knights, King Arthur and ends with the Magna Charta.

Most lessons begin with activities to teach a stylistic technique or writing structure. These vary from strong verbs to show emotions to topic sentences/clinchers to similes. An overview of the lesson is provided, as well as a step-by-step (EASY TO FOLLOW) lesson plan.

Medieval History Writing Lessons are just another excellent supplement to Teaching Writing: Structure & Style. Lori provides 1-4 lessons for each of TWSS (IEW's Teaching Writing) units thus covering stories, reports, formal essays, critiques and creative writing. Checklists are provided for both the teacher & student.

So you're wondering what ages can use Medieval History-Based Writing Lessons?

Glad you asked because Lori has thought of everything. In her easy-to-follow lessons, she separates her instructions for elementary (4th-6th grade) from junior high. To help teach different ages of students, different checklists & assignments are given.

At the end of the manual, you receive 3 bonus items.

1. Games for Review - Effective way to review the concepts you are teaching, especially with vocabualary words. Ways to adapt to one student are included in this section - yea for homeschoolers!

2. Stylistic Technique Charts & Helps - You should refer to these charts when your kids need to add quality adjectives, strong verbs or adverbs. They do not have to think of these words on their own because long lists are given for them to choose from.

3. Vocabulary - Cards with 64 vocabulary words/pictures are included so your kids can start using these words in their own writings. What better way to increase your vocabulary than to actually use your new vocabulary words. Also included are some vocab quizzes & final test.
